LAMP SHADE AND PROCESS or 'MAKING SAME.

To all whom it'mag concern:

Be it known that I, LnoNL. BERKOWITZ, a "citizen of, the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lamp Shades and Processes of Making Same, of which .the'following isva full, clear, and exact de-- 'scription, reference being had to the ac- V companying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new product: namely, a lamp shade carrying onits face advertisements partly in plain black and partly in color. My invention comprises a new and useful process of making thefinished shade: namely, a shade carrying on its face an advertisement of the character specified; ,The inventlon also comprises the finished'product, which, as Well as the'process of 'making-it,is novel.

A shade embodying my invention and made in accordance 1 with my process is.

shown in the drawings, in which- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the finished V shade. i

Fig. 2 is a plan .-view'of theoriginal .un parchmentized plain blank for the shade bod V I Fig. 3 is a' lan view of the same unparchmentized lank containing a part of the advertising matter; p

' The blank a shown in Fig. 2 is an all rag paper which may be plain white or of any 'plain color, On this paper is printed certain matter, usually in black, as, for example, the printed solid black words I) and the black outline c of the pictorial design, as shown in Fig. The next step in the process comprises the immersion of the ,so printed paper in linseed or other suitable oil, thereby converting it into parchment. After thus par'chmentizing, parts of the blank are distinctly colored asfdesired. In

the example of completed shade, Fig. .1, the, coloring of thepicture design 0 indicated 7 1. The process of Appl ication filed August 7, 1924. Serial No. 730,771.
